How do I re-order the display of pages at the top of my blog?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am using the Mystique theme for my blog, which is currently private until it’s ready to go live.

    Everything is working just fine, however, I am creating pages and I need them to show up in a certain order in the bar at the top of the main blog page. I can’t find anything on how to re-organize these pages in the order I want them displayed in the top bar of my blog.

    I have looked this up in Google and on WordPress Help, but almost all of the answers are dating back to 2006.

    Am I missing something to simply reorganize the display of these pages?? It seems like it should be a really straightforward task.

    thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    What I have found out is that they are displayed in the way that you published them. For example, if you have a home page, an about page, and, say a computer page, if you published the about page first then the computer page, it would display home, about, computer and vice versa.
    Hope this helps!

    Don’t know about your specific theme – but use a custom menu and you can change the order of the pages

    Thanks, I’ll try the custom menu option!

    @bestsellerteen: No, the default top menu of a theme displays page tabs in alphabetical order (home link excepted).

    @britishginger: You can change the order in two different ways: set an order number in the Page Attributes module of the page editor, or create and load a custom top menu (as auxclass suggested). Custom menu is easier.

    And please link to your blog when asking questions here, or better make your username link to your blog (Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste blog URL in the Website field, click Save Changes).

    Ohhhhh……Funny, how I published mine in alphabetical order, so I didn’t realise that!
